i have a skunk2 rear sway bar and a 99 gsr. i was wondering what i can do to reinforce the subframe so it wouldnt tear out when i put my car through hell. DOES ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION!!!!!!! THANKS!

 

Maybe something like the beaks or BSQ kit would work with the skunk2 bar? They're designed for the ITR bar, but the diameter is the same so I think it should work.

 

thanks, where can i find such a kit? do u have a pic of it?

 

thank you!!!!!!!11 i love u man!!!!!

 

hmm.. i was thinking about it and i think there might be a problem... there is 2 nuts welded to the chassis in the back of the subframe. how am i supposed to install the back plating (beaks mounting kit) if these 2 nuts are in the way? am i supposed to knock them off to get a clean flat surface? btw, how much would a typeR rubber bushing and Dbracket cost me at the dealers?

 

Not sure, on either question. I believe people cut/knock off that nut.

Check http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net for prices.

 

just woundering, is it that easy to tear your subframe? i have rear sway bar for 2 years. i daily drive my car and go to tracnk event almost once a month. i didnt see any problem of my subframe.

 

YUP...remove the lower control arms, and get a chisel and hammer. Knock off both the nuts, flatten out the torn subframe sheet metal and the BEAKS kit, backs it up nicely. And will prevent future failures..

Tore both sides out of my Del sol, and the Beaks kit never failed...

Beaks Kit
lovin it

 

With my BSQ mounting kit there is no need to remove the 2 tack-welded nuts (2 per side / 4 total). You only need to remove the 2 smaller tack-welded nuts which hold the ABS bracket. You can go to my webpage at http://www.geocities.com/bretq/swaybar_install.html for complete step-by-step instructions with photos.
